 What are we arguing here? I overstated by saying you called it a silver bullet. Sorry. 

Am I wrong that you were very excited excited about it and definitely wanted to see Taproot implemented? Am I wrong that you thought it was a positive and would increase Bitcoin privacy, especially around multi-sig and opening lightning channels? 
Am I wrong that there was a very little to any discussion around the potential risks of Tap Root?

 I THINK YOU MISREMEMBER.

REGARDLESS I AM NOT ADVOCATING ANYTHING HERE. I JUST THINK IMPORTANT TECHNICAL BITCOIN DISCUSSION SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUSIVE TO X AND SINCE JAMES REFUSES TO USE NOSTR I HAD TO BE HIS REPOST BOT.

 Fair enough, I could be. I'll just blame Marty 🤣. Didn't realize it wasn't your write up until after I commented. Generally a fan, and didn't mean to seem so confrontational. 

I don't think the risks of soft Forks are discussed enough.  Satoshi was conservative for a reason.
